markj6700 Its almost as if they dont have the right to freedom of speech or to peacefully protest. There should be a law for just this situation!
Betsy did have the right to speak, and she did speak. At the same time, the students had the right to boo her. Nobody was hurt (Betsy obviously doesn’t feel human emotions) and nobody died. Though her ego may have needed CPR.

This was just a simple mix-up. Betsy was supposed to be delivering a speech at her alma mater “Buffoon” University that day, but she spelled it wrong when she typed it into the GPS. Cut her some slack.

You’re right. All the hard work and effort these people put into their education, only to have a woman who’ve prevented all it without a second thought speak at your graduation. It’s sickening, really.

college administrators have been becoming more out of touch with their student body for the past decade. For example, the UC system in California is seeing constant increases in tuition costs and smaller budgets, yet chancellors and administrators at UC schools keep seeing an increase in their salary. A recent audit showed they were overpaying much of their admin staff and hiding it http://reason.com/blog/2017/04/26/audit-university-of-california-overpaid

+JAMES W. HOUSTON you are in hell with me and everyone else under your selectident Dump. The year 2018 is around the corner so the rest of us will be moving on soon, if not sooner. You can hang back with your anti-christ.

Betsy DeVos represents one of the worst parts of America: stupid, oblivious, out of touch, and disgustingly proud of it. This woman ought to go to Wyoming and find a bear to bother. Save the country the suffering.

No, the Democrats are the worst part of America: stupid, oblivious, out of touch and disgustingly proud of it. They can’t complete a 2 word sentence without using the F-word, and threaten violence to anyone who disagrees with them.

What you Republicans can’t take is that the Democrats are pushing back against what you want to replace democracy with, a despotic oligarchy. Okay, you are fascist, sexist, racist, and therefore, voted Trump. Don’t hide behind anti Democrat language, it’s the argument of the oblivously obscure who make it a question of party line. Come on, you know the US is going down the drain fast because of Trump and the De Vos’es of your world. How can you be proud of what they are doing? Don’t you know that the US is already not even the top 40 countries in the world in health care and education (UNESCO°? How can you be proud of that? And you want to spend all the money on a wall and military? How can you be proud of that?

They didn’t boo her loud enough to be honest. Like most of the people in the Trump’s cabinet, she is extremely unqualified for her position. She should not have been there in the first place. #NotLoudEnough 👍
